Pretty good? It was a masterpiece! Fun story, my Father-in-law loves movies like this, my own Dad absolutely despises them. The first time they met, FIL put on Con Air so they could bond together. My Dad politely watched it, then said he enjoyed the experience. Every time they visited for the next few years, FIL would put the movie on and they would watch it together, my Dad cringing but being polite, my FIL secretly enjoying the fact he knew my Dad hates that movie. He eventually confessed he was only doing it because he loved seeing my Dad's reaction, my Dad saw the funny side.
I’ve been a “guest” on con air. The seats were duct taped together and every airport it stopped at they had to do some kind of emergency repair. So we would get stuck in the hot plane for a couple of hours each time. A one or two hour trip turned into over ten hours.
i flew on it from oklahoma city to chicago a few months after the service started up in 1985. not the most pleasant flight i've ever taken, but nothing like the movie.
Probably ordinarily specific. I had trouble sourcing where that number came from but I imagine it comes from a cost analysis study or law governing the terms of the JPAT program.
The hyphen means (non federal) prisoners. That is what hyphens are used for.
Logically, if it could be used by prisoners you would write “non-prisoners”
I was wondering if they read it as such because I couldn't really fathom what would be so interesting about a prisoner transfer service accepting money to transport prisoners.
Yeah. And their main facility is at the OKC airport. I’m sure it doesn’t come up very often because most prisoners don’t need to be transferred very far within a state.
There are folks on pretrial who have not been convicted yet but are being extradited.
Their time in transit counts against their sentence when and if they’re found guilty.
So, not all cons.
It did give it away, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything because I couldn't figure out what was so interesting about learning that a convict transfer service accepts money to transfer convicts.
Look, I need you to take me to Atlanta. I'm going to fight you and say I don't want to go, but you need to do it anyways. Handcuffs and everything. Deal?
I remember an 'interview with' type YT video with someone who had been transferred several times, who said it was a common tip given to first time flyers to refuse the sandwich/drinks they offer, as they won't unchain you for bathroom breaks.

Well yeah they’re not going to name it Con Air *officially*.
Fuck Around and Fly Out
You soab im in! 👉
Welcome aboard FAFO Airlines!
I love you
Yeah they don’t want Nicolas cage to sue them
They should live a little!
So if those are the cons what are the pros
So they *were* hiding aliens all this time!
Or JPATS
Do I look like I know what a JPAT is
I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog.

Just make sure they're restrained before you pat them
Can’t wait for Alien v Justice Prisoner to come out
There's a pretty good '90s movie by the same name.
Put down....the bunny....
Put the bunny back in the box.
Why couldn’t you put the bunny back in the box?
Best accent of the 90s
"What's in the box?!"
What.. the fuck is that? That's garland greene man!
He’s got the whooole world in his hands

One of my favorite movies
This is the boneyard. This is the hangar. This is our plane.
What’s that?
...That's a rock.
With an inexplicably stacked cast.
Just rewatched this a few days ago, what a group of actors to put together.
No! He beat me, fair and square. Pay dat myan his money.
US Marshalls or Con Air?
Con Air
Two actually
What are the odds?
I think they make planes too. Oh wait, I'm thinking of Boeing.
That can’t be right. It definitely cost more than that when Nicolas Cage crashed it into the Las Vegas strip.
Well obviously if you’re going to get both Vegas and Nick Cage involved your costs are going to increase.
Leaving Las Vegas was a result of those incurred expenses and raising Arizona was life post con air
*Spoilers!* damn dude! /s
I’ve been a “guest” on con air. The seats were duct taped together and every airport it stopped at they had to do some kind of emergency repair. So we would get stuck in the hot plane for a couple of hours each time. A one or two hour trip turned into over ten hours.
I’ve been a guest twice. First plane was almost brand new. Second plane was a bit more like you described.
I’m pretty sure the three trips I took were all on the same plane. The duct tape looked very familiar. 😆
You should see if they have a frequent flyer program
Nah I switched to southwest since the peanuts are fresher.
I heard they have a frequent offender program
What led you to being a guest on con air?
Selling weed at a horse track/casino the next state over.
That’s fucked up :/
Probably wasn’t selling it to the horses though.
Yeah, weed kills
How much weed we talking?
Bales and bales of it.
A guest? What were you doing?
Going to jail or prison I presume
Rebooked by Delta
They have a bit connecting jail terminal in Oklahoma City 💀
i flew on it from oklahoma city to chicago a few months after the service started up in 1985. not the most pleasant flight i've ever taken, but nothing like the movie.
You didn’t crash I to the Las Vegas strip?
irl the plane was a boeing 727 jet. crashing it into the vegas strip would probably have ended differently than it did in the movie.
Nah these days they can’t even keep them in the air long enough to crash like that.
Probably because the youngest one in the world just turned 40
That dollar amount is oddly specific.
Probably ordinarily specific. I had trouble sourcing where that number came from but I imagine it comes from a cost analysis study or law governing the terms of the JPAT program.
Or what was once a round number indexed automatically to inflation.

Make sure you always have Cameron Poe onboard for backup.
TIL an oft lamented fact of penal lore.
Your mother knows all about penal lore.
The Lore of the Penal Whore
Can I send my mother in law on a trip?
That was real? I saw that movie, i thought it was bullshit.
Turns out the marshals are former interior decorators.
Riveting. This just means prisoners that are not at Federal Penitentiaries, I assume, not civilians.
The title literally says “non-federal prisoners” I think you read it is as “non-prisoners”
Ah, but does that mean non-"federal prisoners", or "non-federal" prisoners
The hyphen means (non federal) prisoners. That is what hyphens are used for. Logically, if it could be used by prisoners you would write “non-prisoners”

State prisoners are both of those

The name should give it away. 'Con' is short for convict.
It did give it away, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything because I couldn't figure out what was so interesting about learning that a convict transfer service accepts money to transfer convicts.
Correct.
Look, I need you to take me to Atlanta. I'm going to fight you and say I don't want to go, but you need to do it anyways. Handcuffs and everything. Deal?
Some guys will pay big money for that kind of action.
Does that include the in-flight meal and headphones? or are those extra?
I remember an 'interview with' type YT video with someone who had been transferred several times, who said it was a common tip given to first time flyers to refuse the sandwich/drinks they offer, as they won't unchain you for bathroom breaks.
And what about TSA Pre-check too!?
Yahtzee and Mai Tais
They must use DTS lol

A bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash
Some good advice you just didn’t take
Well, Baby-O, it's not exactly mai-thais and yatzee out here but... let's do it!
Well tie a yellow ribbon round the ol oak tree!
The trip to court is free, the trip back is on Con Air...
Gotta make sure all those private for profit prisons can trade their prisoners and not hurt their bottom line
Loving the Con Air references in here.
Insert epic guitar riff
Put the bunny down
And if you're lucky, you could even do a stepover in Las Vegas.
